Samson’s life makes us remember how human and weak and tempted to sin we all are.
Samson had a special calling on his life. God gave him a special gift of strength. But Samson was weak in standing against temptation. In disobeying God, the enemies, the Philistines, won for awhile. They laughed at Samson and Samson’s God, because they gave praise to their own god.
Our sins and failure gives opportunity for people to make fun of us and laugh at our God.
When we think of Samson’s life-----it makes us remember how careful we need to be.
